I like miller fine and all but to have a local guy playing goalie for us would have been awesome. we still have allen who will be our starter in time but I wish bishop was in st Louis where he belongs.

good job on a record breaking win and good luck in the rest of your career, just not against the blues.

Had the Lightning played better in front of him all year, his stats would have been even better. That being said, the new Cooper system has been considerably better in their own zone for goaltenders, which allows the goalie to see the shots much better. I would say at this point the majority of the goals that have been scored against Bishop have been the result of a mistake by the defense, or Ben’s own young clumsiness. haha This guy is only going to get better, and the Lightning are only going to get better.

He deserves heavy consideration for the Vezina trophy because, in the absence of Stammer, he was really the only player who showed up every night – when other players wouldn’t. All the BS about St. Louis carrying the team was nonsense. He went on a streak after the Canada roster announcement for trade value purposes only. Thankfuly for Tampa, Johnson and Palat have really come into their own as rookies. It’s not too often you find two of the top three rookies on ONE TEAM! Crazy.

Congrats to Bishop. Very bright future with him in Tampa. Lindback…not so much. People can defend him to death, he just doesn’t have his chops down and still seems extremely nervous in there. Granted, the team in front of him doesn’t support him too much.
